objective c MPMoviePlayerController wont work on iOS 4.3

Ive got this code from an ebook tutorial on embedding MPMoviePlayerController from a VIEW object but it just dont work at all on iOS 4.3, it just gives me a black screen. I've tried looking at other sources and they have the same source code. Can anyone help me on finding what is the problem in this code.

Thanks

    - (IBAction)playMovie:(id)sender {
    NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"shawarma" ofType:@"mp4"];
    NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath]; 
    MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:fileURL];
    [player.view setFrame: movieHolder.bounds]; 
    [movieHolder addSubview: player.view];
    [player play];
}

My VIEW object has a dimension of 400 x 300.

From the MPMoviePlayerController class reference guidelines Consider a movie player view to be an opaque structure.

You can add your own custom subviews to layer content on top of the movie but you must never modify any of its existing subviews.

In addition to layering content on top of a movie, you can provide custom background content by adding subviews to the view in the backgroundView

MPMoviePlayerController it self has a property view to present the video
